Chapter 20: Exploring the Qinghe Palace at Night
Miaoqin fell to her knees, no matter what, she didn't want to experience that hellish life again. So even if she leaks the secret and is killed by Concubine Yang, she will not fall again. Her eyes flickered a few times.
Miaoqin gritted her teeth and said, "The slave maid was born in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and had a low status, but because her wife was selected as a dowry girl when she entered the palace, she was fortunate to follow her into the palace and get out of the sea of suffering." But because the lady was not favored, she was in a violent mood, and beat the slaves and maids day and night. The slave couldn't stand it. At this time, Biyun, the first-class palace maid beside the concubine, told me that if I could help the concubine Niangniang do things, Niangniang would help me get out of the sea of suffering, give me a hundred taels, and send me out of the palace. ”
Miaoqin said this, a little crying. Although Qing Huan felt pitiful for her, although she shouldn't do bad things, she was not at fault. Life is so unfair, some people are born noble, but some people are born poor. They are not at fault, it is the unfairness of the world that makes them bad, just like Miaoqin and Yang Yuyan. Qing Huan sighed, but all the injustice should not be a reason for them to hurt others.
When Miaoqin calmed down, she said, "The slave can't help the temptation, although the palace is good, it is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones." The outside world is too tempting for me. But Concubine Yang actually let the slave maid poison Concubine Liu's food. The slave maid is already timid, even if Concubine Yang agrees to the slave maid to let the slave and maid out of the palace, but the slave maid has to have the life to go out! ”
It turned out that Yang Yuyan poisoned Liu Qianrou, but Qing Huan remembered very well that all the evidence at that time pointed to Su Ying's unfavored maid! Wait, can't it be...... Su Ying killed innocents indiscriminately?
Without waiting for Qing Huan to think clearly, Miaoqin said again, "The concubine arrested my mother and younger brother and threatened me, I had no choice but to agree." The concubine said that she had arranged everything, as long as I poisoned Concubine Liu's food, after the matter was completed, she would let me out of the palace. ”
"At that time, Niangniang, you had just entered the palace, and you didn't know anything, so Niangniang framed you, but she didn't want the king to find out the murderer. In fact, the murderer was also a substitute for the dead. The purpose of the concubine is to eliminate all the emperor's concubines little by little. ”
Qing Huan's face was a little pale, if Su Ying hadn't found the murderer for her at that time, she would have been executed a long time ago. But does Su Ying know that he wronged a good person? Qing Huan's voice trembled a little, "So, what about this cold palace walk?" ”
Miaoqin knelt on the ground, her mood was not as excited as just now, Qing Huan asked, she said again, "Concubine Yang originally promised to send the slave out of the palace after that incident, but she broke her promise. She did give the slave maid a hundred taels, but what was the use, the slave maid spent all day long in the remote hundred gardens, and she didn't need so much money at all, and what the slave and maid wanted most was to get out of the palace! ”
Xin'er and Qing'er glanced at each other, the deep palace was like the sea, and Miaoqin said what they wanted. In the past, it was okay in Beiqing, they didn't need so much intrigues, but this South Vietnam is indeed a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and they also want to leave as soon as possible.
Finally, Concubine Yang learned that Niangniang was sent to the cold palace, so she asked the slave to send a letter to Gonggong Liu of the Internal Affairs Office, and Gonggong Liu has been doing things for Concubine Yang. After the letter was delivered, the cold palace caught fire that night. Father-in-law Liu has been here many times, and he has sent letters to me, and I have sent them to Biyun. Gonggong Liu said that the concubine wanted to blame Li Guiren for the cold palace going away, and if it didn't work, she would blame Mrs. Se Wu. Mother, the slave is really forced to do so! ”
It was late at night, and a dark shadow flashed over Qinghe Palace. Lu Yu heard all the facts with his own ears, but how could Concubine Yang's ruthless woman be loved by the king? I don't understand. However, through the observation of the past few days, he felt that Chang Qinghuan was a little like his master. It's not scary when you don't smile, and the more you smile, the more dangerous it is.
In the Qinghe Palace, everyone was apprehensive after Miaoqin finished speaking, but fortunately, the master saw Concubine Yang's trick. Otherwise, I don't know how serious the consequences will be.
Qing Huan sighed, she had no intention of embarrassing Miaoqin, but she just wanted to find out the truth of the matter. After a moment's thought, "Do you know where your mother and brother are being locked up?" ”
Miaoqin shook her head, "The slave doesn't know. ”
"Commander Jin, in the past two days, you will be responsible for finding Miaoqin's mother and younger brother, rescuing them, and sending them to a safe place. In addition, send two people to protect Miaoqin's safety. After Qing Huan made arrangements, he looked at Miaoqin, "Yang Yuyan has harmed everyone in the palace so much, if you can make her crimes public, I will definitely keep you safe." And you can rest assured, your mother and brother will be okay too. ”
Miaoqin was in tears, and she nodded hurriedly, "Slaves and maids listen to Niangniang!" ”
Qing Huan nodded, "In a few days, this palace will implore the king to find out the murderer of the arson in the cold palace, and at that time, you only need to testify to me." ”
Miaoqin kowtowed and said, "The slave must do her best!" After saying that, he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Well, come on, send her back to Baichun Garden." Qing Huan waved his hand and asked everyone to step back. Qing'er and Xin'er helped her to the bedroom.
Qing Huan was lying on the bed, and the truth was finally revealed, but Qing Huan felt that things were not so simple. That night in the Imperial Garden, Su Ying obviously didn't want to let himself interfere. It seems that Su Ying already knew the truth of the matter, he just wanted to shield Yang Yuyan. In this way, the last time Liu Qianrou happened, Su Ying was also shielding her!
Qing Huan couldn't see through Su Ying at all, since he already knew that Yang Yuyan was so arrogant, how could he let her go. Since you love Yang Yuyan, why do you bring her knotted rope. Will Su Ying help him, he can't move an inch, and how to pass the news to Su Ying and let him try the matter.
One night, Qing Huan thought back and forth, and was very entangled. In the middle of the night, the wind blew open the window, Qinghuan put on a cloak, got out of bed and lit a candlestick, walked to the window, and was about to close the window, but saw a person standing on the pavilion not far away. The wide robe fluttered in the wind, and the figure looked like Su Ying.
Qing Huan rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, there was no shadow on the pavilion. She thought she must not have slept well, so she closed the window and went back to bed.
Su Ying stood on the pavilion, watched Qing Huan's room with the lights out, stood on the pavilion, stared in that direction for a long, long time before leaving.
I don't know why, although he didn't get along with Qing Huan for a long time, the most he did was to listen to her play the piano, although he didn't say a few words, but in those days he felt that he had a heart with Qing Huan. But now, Qing Huan is attracting him little by little, and the distance between them is getting farther and farther away.
He didn't like Qing Huan's feelings, but he just wanted to know all about her, otherwise he wouldn't have sent a lewd to keep an eye on Qinghe Palace. An inexplicable attraction made him more and more curious about how she would respond to the imminent crisis.
